 Sullivan Supports Legislation Fully Funding K-12 This School Year

 STATEHOUSE (Jan. 12, 2021) – State Rep. Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) recently voted in support of a bill to fully fund all K-12 public school students for the 2020-21 school year due to COVID-19.

The House Ways and Means Committee unanimously passed House Bill 1003, which would ensure public schools receive 100% funding for each student this school year, whether they attended classes in-person or virtually.

“Schools have had to take unprecedented steps throughout the pandemic to keep students and educators safe,” said Sullivan, chairwoman of the Budget Subcommittee on Ways and Means. “My colleagues and I are acting quickly to ensure schools have the resources they need to continue having a successful school year.”

Due to the pandemic, many traditional public schools had to make the shift to remote learning to help slow the spread of COVID-19. She said the bill helps mitigate requirements under current law requiring schools receive 85% of the tuition support per virtual student, which is defined as a child learning 50% or more of their instruction online.

House Bill 1003 now moves to the House floor for further consideration. Visit iga.in.gov for more information.

Attorney General Todd Rokita Promises Liberty in Action
Munster native Todd Rokita was sworn in today as the 44th Attorney General for the State of Indiana. Theceremony, hosted at the Indiana State Museum, was closed to the public due to public health concerns. Rokita was elected in November, garnering the highest vote total for a statewide elected official in Indiana history.
“Today I reiterate my commitment to promoting liberty in all ways,” said Attorney General Rokita. “But preserving our liberty requires more than speeches and promises. It demands real, on the ground work and attention — from all of us. In my administration you can expect our team to put liberty in action every single day.”
As Attorney General, Rokita will serve as the state’s top lawyer and will represent Indiana in settlements and in defense of laws passed by the General Assembly. The office also represents prosecutors in criminal appeals and provides important litigation and consumer protection functions. Attorney General Rokita will take on cases of high economic, constitutional, and social importance to the state and the nation.
Earlier today, Attorney General Rokita swore in the Deputy Attorneys General in a video call conducted remotely. Attorney General Rokita previously announced the leadership of former Inspector General, Lori Torres, as Chief Deputy Attorney General and Chief of Staff and Larry Hopkins as Chief Administrative Officer.
“I’m pleased to have such a strong team of public servants in place to work for the people of Indiana. We have an important mission ahead of us and the right people in place to do that work,” said Attorney General Rokita.  
Attorney General Rokita was joined by his wife, Kathy, and sons, Teddy and Ryan, as well as his parents and siblings for the ceremony. He will begin his work at the Statehouse today.

A Bright Future for America

When you commit to a weekly newsletter, you know there will be times when words don’t come easily. However, it’s frequently those moments when it’s most important to speak out. So while all of us have been experiencing a shared sense of apprehension over this week’s events, I wanted to share with you what I’m thinking.

First, I know that no matter what challenges face America, we live in the best and most free country in the world. We have faced tougher times, and like those in the past, we will survive these times as well.

Second, I’m proud to be from Indiana. This is a state where for a long time we have come together as Hoosiers to find solutions and deliver results. Sure, we find things where we all don’t agree, but on the vast majority of issues, we come together to build on our past success.

I have had the good fortune of working around lot of great leaders in my life…far too many to list. Vice President Mike Pence is one of those leaders. He’s a man who has a strong faith in God and belief in America. And without a doubt he has shown great leadership and courage over the last four years, never more so then over this past week.

Violence and mayhem cannot and must never be used as tools to push an agenda. Whether that’s violence in Indianapolis, small town Indiana, or our nation’s capital, violence isn’t who we are. It’s un-American, and runs counter to our republic’s very foundation.

God bless all of you. Together, we must stay engaged as we work to ensure a bright future for America. And most importantly, please say a prayer for our country tonight.

-Kyle Hupfer

In the coming months, we will be working on passing Indiana’s two-year budget, which funds critical state services like education, and considering legislation focused on accelerating Indiana’s economic recovery, getting Hoosiers back to work and creating jobs.

EPA FY 20 Environmental Justice Report Highlights Progress in Vulnerable Communities

0
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its Fiscal Year 2020 Environmental Justice Progress Report highlighting the agency’s progress in advancing environmental justice for minority, low-income, tribal, and indigenous communities across the country.

“The FY 2020 Report demonstrates the tangible improvements that EPA is making across this country to help Environmental Justice communities become healthier.” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Our focus on and commitment to these long neglected communities has improved both the environment and the physical health of countless citizens, and I am proud of that progress.”

The FY 2020 Report describes how the Agency is working to promote a cleaner, healthier environment, more effective partnerships, and greater certainty, compliance and effectiveness to meet the needs of vulnerable communities to address disproportionate environmental impacts, health disparities and economic distress. Highlights of this work include the following:

  • Provided over $160 million in grant funding to support low income and minority communities. These grants will clean up brownfield sites in communities with Opportunity Zones, reduce emissions from diesel vehicles and equipment at ports, provide environmental job training to residents of underserved communities, and address challenges faced by communities related to the pandemic.
  • Deleted all or part of 27 sites from the National Priorities list for a second consecutive year, to reduce exposure to contaminants.
  • Announced a new $4.3 million grant program, under the Water Infrastructure Improvements of the Nation Act, to help protect children in tribal communities from lead in drinking water by boosting lead testing in schools and childcare centers.
  • Finalized rules that will make a meaningful difference to communities by ensuring that more people – particularly lower-income and minority populations – have greater access to newer, cleaner, more affordable cars, and by reducing lead dust-related risks to children in pre-1978 homes and childcare facilities where lead removal activities take place.
  • Reclassified 20 communities across the country that now meet air quality standards.
